I finally found a Sam at target last week which seemed to restock, had three pegs of the series 1 figs. I picked the better of the two Sams though both had a deformed baton. Today I found the Rinzler Identity Disk, which along with Sams' are clearanced to $9.00 And a friend in Tx who works at Target found me a Quorra. And one local wally had marked the Flynn Lightcycle down to $3.50 ! but I'm not really interested in it. Happy hunting for anyone still intersted in this line.

I picked up one of the deluxe 10" tall Rinzlers and a Jarvis last week; then a secret santa got me the Lightrunner and Sam's lightcycle. Wouldn't mind having a deluxe Blackguard for $6. They had the reg figs for $4 last week. While the deluxe figs lack a lot of articulation, they do look very cool and one of Rinzler's ID disks fits on his back as it should. He comes with two ID Disks, two deactivated combat batons, one katana blade, the large version of the garrote the reg fig came with and what looks like a non-illuminated battle staff. The reg Jarvis comes with a plain black data pad I'll probably customize and his ID Disk. And yikes another example of WHY most of the other figures like Clu and Quorra come with helmets, that 'face' is hideous; and the head is only a swivel joint while all others are sorta ball joint. The Lightcycle is a very cool toy, in both its looks and play value. The engine revs up, makes drivingn noises and as the front tire turns, it spins the visible engine. Haven't opened the lightrunner yet but it looks equally cool.

Picked up a deluxe Blackguard at target for $3.74 - yep that's right just under $4 for a deluxe 10" figure.Now the articulation on the deluxe versions isn't as good as the 4" figures but the detailing is more evident. He comes with a two piece flying wing set the snaps onto his back and like Rinzler, his ID Disk snaps on as well. He comes armed with two removable battle batons that also plug into his elbows as seen on the smaller version but that's it. SO since Rinzler came armed to the virtual teeth with 2 disks, 2 batons, an electric garrotte and staff, they share the weapons since Rinsler is only seeing wielding his two ID disks in combat. Also picked up a die cast 3man light jet for 98 cents. ONly figures I don't have are a Sentry and Kevin Flynn.

I picked up another One Man Light Plane the other day, $3.74. Also snagged Sam's Light Cycle. We didn't really have any figures left and none of the Deluxe figures. The Deluxe got clearanced out last year. The die-cast went quick otherwise I'd probably have picked up a couple

I did see some Deluxe at KMart on Sunday along with 4" figure. They were "clearance" tagged but not really marked down. The 4" figures were still $7. Needless to say, I didn't buy anything there.

Glad to see someone else collecting and enjoying Tron Legacy toys as much as I do. The 4" figures really are very cool toys, pretty well articulated, not quite "star wars super articulated" but still very good. I only wish they could have done a better job with human likenesses, I never got Flynn because he looked rather wonky and while Sam sports his battle helmet, the face is very plain; Poor Jarvis is the pits. I would have liked to have had non-helmeted figures of Quorra, Sam and CLu; plus a 'real world' Sam and Alan Bradley plus FLynn in his black robe and Clu with his robe - those were very cool outfits in the movie! I know Castor and a derezzed Blackguard were planned but never made/released. Gem would also have been a cool figure considering how much screen time she has. Oh well, here's hoping another manufacturer picks up the line IF/When they make Tron 3.
